Donate to the LBC

This week (Sat 30 May – Sat 6 June) is our annual Giving Week at the London Buddhist Centre. If the LBC means a lot to you, as it does for so many of us, we'll be encouraging you to help it thrive by making a monthly donation.

If you've been coming along for a while, you'll know what a unique world we've created here in the middle of Bethnal Green. This owes a lot to the fact that those who run the centre do it for free, including the people who lead classes, courses, retreats and study groups. Even the admin team, who work at the centre full-time, do so in the spirit of generosity, receiving basic financial support so that they can give their time freely to something they believe in.

All this is a way of living out the principle of generosity ('dana' in Sanskrit) which is at the heart of the Buddhist tradition. It's a practice that helps us go beyond ourselves in real-life ways every day, bringing us into deeper and deeper connection with all of life.

If you've benefited from what you've been given at the LBC, please consider passing on the gift so that more people can find meaning, joy and freedom.
